Westminster Abbey
20 Dean's Yard, London SW1P 3PA
Explore a place rich in history The Abbey is a place that's touched the lives of kings, queens, statesmen and soldiers, poets, priests, heroes and villains since 960AD. Westminster Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the resting place of more than 3,000 great Britons.
Benedictine monks founded Westminster Abbey in 960AD. To this day, we retain a tradition of Christian worship and welcome. Discover over ten centuries of British history in a building in the heart of London where worship takes place every day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245. It’s one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart.
Events at Westminster Abbey include special services, concerts, lectures, events for families and more – there’s something for everyone at the Abbey. Many of our events are free and open to anyone.
